What is digital satellite?
Launched in 1994 by Hughes Electronics Corporation, digital satellite television uses high-power satellites to deliver more than 200 channels of high definition, news, entertainment, sports, music with the same quality found on laser discs and CDs. All this is delivered via satellite dish installed at your home.
How does it work?
All the great content is broadcast by the Castle Rock Broadcasting Center in Castle Rock Colorado--the world's first all-digital broadcast facility. That facility is linked to satellites in geo- stationary orbit about 22,300 miles above the equator ("Geo-stationary" is a high-tech term meaning they follow the earth's rotation.") The real trick is how easy this all is to use. After a long trip, the signals end up in a set-top box about the size of a VCR which is controlled with one remote control which sits on your coffee table. But with all this great programming, would you leave that remote unattended?
Please call us at 521-7300 or
e-mail us. We'd love to answer any questions about our services or just direct broadcast satellite service in general.
